Liverpool Street station is my favourite London station. OK, it's the London station that I travel into most often so that may have something to do with it, but it's always got a kind of nice atmosphere that some other large London stations don't have.

There are loads of places to grab something to eat or drink from before you have to get your train - McDonalds, Burger King, Millies, Upper Crust, Wasabi, Pasty shop etc as well as a pub.

If you want to shop there is practically a whole shopping centre to shop in - Boots, Lush, Thorntons, M&S, WH Smiths, Accessorize, Claire's Accessories, Paperchase to list just a few!

There's also a gym, a walk-in centre where you can see a GP during the week and a hairdressers! Not bad eh?

The toilets at this station are very nice and clean and there is a lot of them which means no queues. They also have dyson airblade hand driers which as anyone has used them knows are the BEST hand-driers there are! You can also navigate the barriers outside the toilets well even with luggage which is always good!

There is a taxi rank next to platform 10 and also outside McDonalds.

If you venture outside of the station, you're in the heart of London's financial district.

Trains from Liverpool Street run to East Anglia so Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire is covered if you want to go further afield!
